Interesting. I like the braking feel from the tops on my Red22 levers, but the pivot point for the force/CX1 lever seems to be different and less powerful.

how did you mount your BB7s? I'm trying to build mine up and the brake mounts don't seem to give me the right fit. Do I need to order a specific spacer from Trek?

Also, what rotors are you running? XT rotors aren't going to work unless I modify the brake pads...

Thanks,

Mike

I never need to brake from the drops with my S700 hydros on my Crux. Plenty of power from the hoods.

I don't have the bb7s mounted on the Boone but have ridden them a bit in the past. The bb7s should be an easy setup because direct mount to direct mount. I did have to run some direct mount spacers on my boone, but that is because I have 160mm rotors on it.

I am running no spacers on the setup either. I am using Sram XX1 rotors on it (or whatever comes with those brakes as the wheels are straight off my mountain bike). They work well and are quite light.

Thanks. I'm going to have my mechanic take a look at it and see if we can't get the calipers mounted. I ordered 160 rotors too.

I'm going to have to run spacers with the 160 rotors. Guess I won't have my bike for Cincy3...

I can be wrong, and have plenty of examples for that ;)

My Canti 52cm came out 15.3lbs (no bottle cages). I've since gone CX1 but haven't weighed it again

I just finished building my Trek Boone. Ultegra Di2 with R785 brakes. Will give the overall weight later. [EDIT: Will take me a couple more days to get to the scales]

Will post the weight as soon as I have it.
